What is going to be nice is to watch ridings in Ontario that were conservative for a long time until they went Grit in 1993. Ridings like Northhumberland and Barrie just as two of many examples that will once again become conservative after this election.

I am still holding out a little hope that my riding (Kingston and the Islands) may toss out the Liberal Speaker of the House but I won't be holding my breathe.

The core urban areas will remain Liberal. Everything else will fall to the Tories. As for the Conservatives not getting a majority, its simply because a clean sweep of Quebec isn't going to happen. Brian Mulroney achieved that in both of his wins in 1984 and 1988. Not this time. Unless such a breakthrough in Quebec materializes, a 200 seat plus Conservative majority is out of the question. If they get very lucky tonight, 160 seats are possible but I don't think they'd get more than that - not unless they win in places like Kingston and the Islands and pick off a couple of 416 Liberal seats. So the best they can hope for are 140. It will have to do tonight.

Maybe it would have if Connie had won the nomination.

Oh, well....let's still hope.

My Mom and Dad are down in Chatham Kent (Southwestern Ontario, Chatham specifically) and Liberals have been running disjointed and ineffective campaigns across the region apparantly.

These ridings, with Windsor a probable exception, can swing either way in any election.

From what I hear, the Conservatives look good from London west.
